"We're 100% expecting him to play," said Gallagher. "He got up yapping and yelling. I'm sure the jaw doesn't hurt too much."

"You never want to see your young players get abused," Therrien said. "Yesterday, he ended up fighting. That's not his game. He's never done that before, maybe one time. Hopefully, those things are going to stop. He drew two penalties, but that doesn't make the other five times he was hit okay. It's not okay. He's a good player.
